“ Needs some help ”

Reviewed Apr 30, 2016

Recently refurbished on the outside, some rooms desperately need work on the inside. Some rooms are fine, water pressure is better than the African average, and the water is good and hot. Air con works well. But some rooms smell badly of mold and are damp. This needs attention urgently in my opinion.

“ Reasonable value for money ”

Not the usual Ibis. In what used to be the Hotel du Bénin, the building still has some historic charm. Rooms and clean with good air-con. Ask for a room with a sea view. The restaurant menu is limited as they always are with Ibis, but the daily menu is usually worth trying. Good value for money.

“ Nice views on the ocean side. Good value for money. ”

Old hotel refurbished by Ibis 10 or so years ago. Lovely views of the ocean (ask for a sea view room), well located in town. Rooms are larger than usual for an Ibis and nicely freshened. Staff is pleasant and helpful. Restaurant (outside only) serves decent if quirky food (avoid the salads). Overall good value for money.

This morning Guy picked us up at 9:30 and drove us to his home for a 10:00 service. After hymns, announcements, and the offering, I gave a sermon on what the Bible means by going on to perfection (Hebrews 6;1), which is a very suitable topic for the last day of Unleavened Bread.

So, day one in Togo has come to an end. It was a great day overall, except for being tired for most of it. Breakfast was at 8 am (woke up at 7:15). We made it to the peace corps office at about 9:30. There we did things like staff introductions, money disbursement, health session (with a strong focus on Malaria) and a session on security. Later in the afternoon we took our French placement tests. I...think I'd qualify as a ...

... the ever-present dust in the air, the uniformly decayed state of the vehicles on the road, the masses of people packed in them, and others darting here and there on the road that is truly what the French call dépaysant, which is often translated disorienting, but literally means something like “uncountryfying”, as in taking you far away from everything you know.

We arrived at the airport and unloaded our bags to start the N'Djili airport ordeal. ...

... 400 metres away from the others. It was that bad that when we got back in Kirsty to drive over the border the Ghanain Police and the Togo Police were almost having a fight whist trying to get the traffic to move. Any way we got through and did not even hand in the gate pass to let us out. On the Togo side it was much easier with the immigration office one side of the road and the customs on the other and so we were through within ...
